Leather - new projects

After a successful first publication, there are new natural leather products that can be created with simple tools, low investment and little manual skill.

The author again gives detailed instructions on the choice of tools, the selection of leather, the sewing method and its further processing. Techniques of punching, dyeing, wet-forming, riveting, and more are described.

You will also learn about saddle and cross stitch and stitching fine leather. Eight projects are presented in a step-by-step manner, ranging from a bracelet, keychain, dog leash and leather apron for barbecues to a book cover and a field bottle cover. The projects are done in different levels of difficulty.
